Summary - 501 Wherstead Road IP2 8LL
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Rare detached Victorian with huge private garden, study with vaulted ceiling and off-street parking.
Detached Victorian property with original features and exposed beams
A rare detached Victorian house on Wherstead Road offering flexible family living and an exceptional rear plot in excess of 120ft. The home combines period charm — sash windows, original floorboards and exposed beams — with recent updates including a newly fitted kitchen and a large, light-filled study with vaulted ceilings and Velux windows.
Ground-floor living is practical: lounge with wood burner, dining room, conservatory and a useful cloakroom, plus wide covered access from the driveway into the house. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate first-floor cloakroom. Off-street parking and a substantial rear garden with a cabin and workshop add real lifestyle value.
Notable positives include the plot size, proximity to Ipswich train station and marina (short walk), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The house was constructed in the 1930s–1940s and is freehold with gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note practical points: some windows (bathroom) are single-glazed and may require upgrading, measurements are for guidance only, and services/appliances have not been tested. The wider local area is classified as deprived and the immediate neighbourhood character includes terraces and flats, which may influence long-term resale expectations.
